(1) seeks the annexation of territory to a municipality in a class A county;
(2) is signed by the owners of a majority of the number of acres in such territory;
(3) is signed by a majority of the owners of land in such territory;
(4) is accompanied by a map which shall show the external boundary of the territory proposed to be annexed and the relationship of the territory proposed to be annexed to the existing boundary of the municipality; and
(5) is presented to the governing body of such municipality, the governing body shall by ordinance express its consent or rejection to the annexation of such territory.
B. If the ordinance consents to the annexation of the territory, a copy of the ordinance, with a copy of the plat of the territory so annexed, shall be filed in the office of the county clerk.
C. Within thirty days after the filing of a copy of the ordinance in the office of the county clerk, any person owning land within the territory annexed to the municipality may appeal to the district court questioning the validity of the annexation proceedings. If no appeal to the district court is filed within thirty days after the filing of the ordinance in the office of the county clerk, or if the court renders judgment in favor of the municipality, the annexation shall be deemed complete.
